Agents of Kenya’s Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) have detained an 18-year-old male student who entered an opposite girls’ secondary school without permission from authorities.
The suspect, a secondary school student at Gatugi Day in Nyeri County, was apprehended while disguised as a female student to go see his lover.
He reportedly joined a group of females as they made their way to their dorms while wearing a female uniform.
The male student was caught after an inquiry on the whereabouts of his purported girlfriend.
A statement from the DCI reads, “A mission by a teenage young man to meet his girlfriend at a secondary school in Nyeri county last night was nipped in the bud after the 18-year-old was unmasked by other girls who raised alarm. Frantic efforts by the restless young man to trace his girlfriend from a crowd of girls walking to their dormitory bore no fruits.
“The girl became suspicious since the voice sounded unfamiliar and husky, prompting her to have a closer look at the person making the inquiry, only for her to realize that the fool with a broad chest and hairy chin was a man dressed in their school uniform.
“She immediately started screaming prompting a cacophony of screams from the other girls, as they fled to different directions in bewilderment, almost causing a stampede.”
The school’s security officer reacted to the commotion at the school and hurried toward the hostels, where he caught the suspect trying to flee.
Law enforcement was notified by the school’s principal, and they quickly arrived and took him into custody.
He admitted to police that he had been invited over by his girlfriend for an unstated reason when questioned. He was found to be in possession of a lighter, a phone, and three condoms.
According to the statement, “However, three condoms, a mobile phone and a lighter were recovered from the student who had stuffed his chest with pieces of clothing, to create a false impression of a female bosom. He was whisked to Othaya police station where he is being processed for the offence of preparation to commit a felony.”
